The VA just sent me a letter saying I owe them $6k for GI bill overpayment.

The gently caress, VA. I used two semesters' worth back in 2008-2009 on the old Montgomery GI bill, and two semesters' worth last year. This has got to be some kind of error that my current school hosed me into.

Talk to your certifying official and they'll get you sorted out, don't even bother calling the VA. They said I owed them some money last year for tuition overpayment and when I called to find out what the deal was they just told me to talk to my certifying official. Instead of contacting the place where they send the tuition they bill you up so you have to be some whack rear end middle man and track down money that wasn't paid to you, but you're responsible for.

Jet fuel doesn't get hot enough to get melt steel either you know.

Normally your right but there are more energetic jet fuels, colloquially referred to as "JP Quatro Amigo" or "Dimer" that burn hotter due to some fun stuff involving hydrogenation of the dimer of methylcyclopentadiene. and as a flip side sorta makes the poo poo safer(ish(C12H20, you think that's not gonna gently caress up a chromosome? Pssh. :rolleyes:)) to handle on board ships and stuff. Or if this were the 60's the addition of Boron to the fuel mixture, vastly increasing the energy density of the fuel could also work.

But commercial jetliners (or their circa 2001 reasonable CGI facsimiles) don't burn those sorta fuels. However I'm pretty certain the Israeli F107-WR-402 turbofans that slammed into WTC building 7 and the wrong side of the pentagon were burning the poo poo out of JP-4 right before impact, and when he's not regretting going with the run last night my old buddy Pete Carrol can tell us alllllllll about it. :colbert:

I never got paid that 1200 bux you're supposed to get after burning through the GI bill, so the guy I called at the VA opened a case on it. Unless the yellow ribbon program cancels out that payback, I don't see any other reason I wouldn't get it. Between that and my tax return, I kinda wanna buy a dirt bike, but I'll guilt myself into paying off my car instead I guess.

my lender hosed up years ago and sent a ~$1000 check because "oh, your escrow had a surplus" only to get pinned 3 months later with a higher mortgage payment because my lender is loving retarded.

This seems like the kind of thing your school pays the certifying official to rundown and take care of as opposed to you handling this. What the gently caress does he even have to do in the middle of the semester anyway? Tell him there is a problem and you need it fixed

CT charged me tax on my car from when I lived there even though I provided documentation that I was in the Navy at the time. Instead of voiding the charge they just sent it to collection and I got a letter from some collection agency. When I send my letter response I totally wrote gently caress you under the stamp. That'll show them.

Turns out it was the VA themselves. I used the VA Ask website and actually got it resolved. Apparently since I graduated community college a month ago, some knucklehead at the VA decided that I didn't need my Spring 2014 semester paid for after all and did a withdrawal on it. It is now theoretically being fixed.

Clay Hunt suicide prevention act passed

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...to-white-house/

bolding the good stuff:

quote:

Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act or the Clay Hunt SAV Act -

(Sec. 2) Requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) to: (1) arrange for an independent third party evaluation, at least annually, of the VA's mental health care and suicide prevention programs; and (2) submit a report to Congress, by December 1 of each year, containing the most recent evaluations not yet submitted to Congress and any recommendations the Secretary considers appropriate.

(Sec. 3) Directs the Secretary to survey the VA's existing Internet websites and information resources to publish an Internet website that serves as a centralized source to provide veterans with information, updated at least once every 90 days, regarding all of the VA's mental health care services.

(Sec. 4) Requires the Secretary to carry out a three-year pilot program to repay the education loans relating to psychiatric medicine that are incurred by individuals who: are eligible to practice psychiatric medicine in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) or are enrolled in the final year of a residency program leading to a specialty qualification in psychiatric medicine; demonstrate a commitment to a long-term career as a psychiatrist in the VHA; and agree to a period of two or more years of obligated service with the VHA in the field of psychiatric medicine, as determined by the Secretary. Limits the loan repayment to no more than $30,000 for each year an individual performs such obligated service.

Directs the Secretary to submit interim and final reports to Congress on such pilot program.

Terminates the pilot program three years after its commencement.

(Sec. 5) Directs the Secretary to establish a pilot program at not less than five Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs) to assist veterans transitioning from active duty and to improve the access of veterans to mental health services. Requires the pilot program at each VISN to include: (1) a community oriented veteran peer support network, carried out in partnership with an entity that has experience in peer support programs; and (2) a community outreach team for each medical center in such VISN.

Directs the Secretary to submit interim and final reports to Congress on such pilot program.

Terminates the pilot program three years after its commencement.

(Sec. 6) Authorizes the Secretary to collaborate with nonprofit mental health organizations to prevent suicide among veterans. Requires the Secretary and any such organization with which the Secretary is collaborating to exchange training sessions and best practices.

Directs the Secretary to select a VA Director of Suicide Prevention Coordination to undertake any collaboration with nonprofit mental health organizations.

(Sec. 7) Extends, for the one-year period beginning on January 1, 2015, combat veterans' eligibility for VA hospital care, medical services, and nursing home care for illnesses which have not been medically proven to be attributable to their service, provided: (1) they were discharged or released from active duty between January 1, 2009, and January 1, 2011, and (2) did not enroll to receive such care during the five-year period of eligibility following their discharge.

(Sec. 8) Prohibits the authorization of any additional appropriations to carry out this Act's provisions.

I get that for one person in a gazillion there's some genetic fuckery and things aren't clear cut for that person specifically. For the huge, huge, loving HUGE majority of people, every person they ever meet in their lives even in passing will be exactly one gender. It's such a remarkably loving dumb argument and I don't get it.

I've never really understood how someone can look at the 99.9999999% of people who actually are one gender or the other and conclude that everyone must ask what pronoun they should use to talk to you. It's loving reality, deal with it. (My campus has a "fluidity of gender" exhibit going on for like a month or some poo poo and it's grating on my god drat nerves)

Well the basic argument is that sex is assigned in the womb and cannot be changed without treatment. Gender is like whatever you want, baby.

That's why we need to go back to using the identifying term "sex" on all paperwork instead of "gender." There are two checkboxes; pick one, don't write a loving essay. If at some point in the future that answer changes, whatever. Until then, if you're not sure which one to pick, look in your pants.
